Say Hello To The Newlook Big Tex.
Late last week, this video of Peter Dinklage singing a song on Sesame Street delighted Game of Thrones fans. He even managed to surprise a few with just how good his pipes are, even managing to nail some sweet harmonies there at the end.
His chops shouldn't be all that surprising to true GoT fans, though. They, no doubt, are already well aware of Dinklage's old punk-funk-rap band, Whizzy, which he used to perform with before his acting career took off. Fun fact: It was onstage with the band that he got kneed in the face and received that gnarly face scar he still rocks to this day.
Anyway, seeing Dinklage fraternizing with a pack of Muppets more than made our weekend. The only that even compared, really, was when we saw all of the goodness that lies ahead in the coming week.
